Re: Office 16.9 accessbility improvements
You are! You gotta do like George said. I'm uploading the preview to my public Dropbox for you guys now to make it easier. This way you guys have a direct download link to the .pkg file. But, meanwhile, here is what you need to do. Open up Word. Get yourself into a document, be it a blank document, or whatever. Go to your menu bar with VO+M. VO+Right arrow over to the help menu and open it up with vo+down arrow. Vo+down arrow until you get to Check for updates, then hit VO+Space. Hit VO+Space on the check for updates default button. Now, you'll get a table. By default, you'll probably see an update to Microsoft Updater in this table. You'll also see it's checked to be installed and that its size is just over a meg. Go ahead and navigate with Voiceover to where you need to be in order to install that update. I won't talk you through that, as the screens here are 100% accessible. If it asks you to close updater before installing, or to choose install later, go ahead and hit vo+space on the option to close and install. Once it's installed go back to that same window you were at after going into the help menu and to check for updates. It should still be up, but you might have to possibly command+tab to find it. Once you've done this, again, hit the check for updates default button. Now, in the table, you should see Microsoft Word Preview 15.9. Now mind you, I don't know if you have to update to this in order to then get up to the accessible 16.9, or if the original poster made an error in that version number. I've not quite yet gotten that far. I'm in the process of doing this with you right now as I type this, so I'll let you know if there are further steps, once I know. Anyway, this Word Preview 15.9 installer should say it's about 700MB in size, give or take a little bit here or there. Again, it already should be checked. Just navigate as usual, let it download, then once it's done, go through the installer like normal. Then, close Word, if it doesn't make you do so already, and once this 15.9 update has been installed, relaunch Word, then try it out. If it still doesn't work, then perform these steps to check for updates again until it says there are no updates available. If then it doesn't still work, then I will need to research things further.

Re: Office 16.9 accessbility improvements
Absolutely! It may be a few hours, but I'm getting the file uploaded. Please just be patient with me. I discovered that I don't have transmit installed, bleh, so need to get that done too. Therefore I don't have a way right now to upload via ftp. I guess I could use the terminal and do it, but really? I'd so! rather not. LOL! I'm geeky enough to do so, I just don't prefer it, therefore, uploading to my server isn't gonna be possible, but! that said, I am getting it up on my Dropbox as a public share link. Just hang tight with me. I'll get it to all you guys who haven't gotten it already. It won't be the new update discussed here. You'll have to run the software updater, but, alas, you'll get it once you do so. Chris. - Original Message - From: sadamahmed1...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 1:33 PM Subject: Re: Office 16.9 accessbility improvements Thanks Chris for these instructions. Kind regards, Sadam Mohammed Ahmed Sent from my iPhone -- On 16 Apr 2015, at 3:29 am, Christopher-Mark Gilland clgillan...@gmail.com wrote: You are! You gotta do like George said. I'm uploading the preview to my public Dropbox for you guys now to make it easier. This way you guys have a direct download link to the .pkg file. But, meanwhile, here is what you need to do. Open up Word. Get yourself into a document, be it a blank document, or whatever. Go to your menu bar with VO+M. VO+Right arrow over to the help menu and open it up with vo+down arrow. Vo+down arrow until you get to Check for updates, then hit VO+Space. Hit VO+Space on the check for updates default button. Now, you'll get a table. By default, you'll probably see an update to Microsoft Updater in this table. You'll also see it's checked to be installed and that its size is just over a meg. Go ahead and navigate with Voiceover to where you need to be in order to install that update. I won't talk you through that, as the screens here are 100% accessible. If it asks you to close updater before installing, or to choose install later, go ahead and hit vo+space on the option to close and install. Once it's installed go back to that same window you were at after going into the help menu and to check for updates. It should still be up, but you might have to possibly command+tab to find it. Once you've done this, again, hit the check for updates default button. Now, in the table, you should see Microsoft Word Preview 15.9. Now mind you, I don't know if you have to update to this in order to then get up to the accessible 16.9, or if the original poster made an error in that version number. I've not quite yet gotten that far. I'm in the process of doing this with you right now as I type this, so I'll let you know if there are further steps, once I know. Anyway, this Word Preview 15.9 installer should say it's about 700MB in size, give or take a little bit here or there. Again, it already should be checked. Just navigate as usual, let it download, then once it's done, go through the installer like normal. Then, close Word, if it doesn't make you do so already, and once this 15.9 update has been installed, relaunch Word, then try it out. If it still doesn't work, then perform these steps to check for updates again until it says there are no updates available. If then it doesn't still work, then I will need to research things further.

Re: Office 16.9 accessbility improvements
HELLO, I hope what I am going to post is not off topic. I am having problems completing the installation of Office 16 upgrade. I have gotten as far as downloading the upgrade, but then I seem to get into a loop where I get the busy, busy busy!!! thing. This occurs for several minutes, so the only option left is to force quit the installation. I am wondering if someone who has gone through the installation process and is running the update can give me some ideas on how to trouble shoot thisthis, so I can complete the process.

Now, you'll get a table. By default, you'll probably see an update to Microsoft Updater in this table. You'll also see it's checked to be installed and that its size is just over a meg. Go ahead and navigate with Voiceover to where you need to be in order to install that update. I won't talk you through that, as the screens here are 100% accessible. If it asks you to close updater before installing, or to choose install later, go ahead and hit vo+space on the option to close and install. Once it's installed go back to that same window you were at after going into the help menu and to check for updates. It should still be up, but you might have to possibly command+tab to find it. Once you've done this, again, hit the check for updates default button. Now, in the table, you should see Microsoft Word Preview 15.9. Now mind you, I don't know if you have to update to this in order to then get up to the accessible 16.9, or if the original poster made an error in that version number. I've not quite yet gotten that far. I'm in the process of doing this with you right now as I type this, so I'll let you know if there are further steps, once I know. Anyway, this Word Preview 15.9 installer should say it's about 700MB in size, give or take a little bit here or there. Again, it already should be checked. Just navigate as usual, let it download, then once it's done, go through the installer like normal. Then, close Word, if it doesn't make you do so already, and once this 15.9 update has been installed, relaunch Word, then try it out. If it still doesn't work, then perform these steps to check for updates again until it says there are no updates available. If then it doesn't still work, then I will need to research things further.

Re: Office 16.9 accessbility improvements
Hi all, The Office 2016 Preview can be directly and officially downloaded from Microsoft. Here is the link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=523849 As others have mentioned, once downloaded and installed, updates can be installed by opening any of the Office apps, accessing the help menu, then choosing “check for updates”. To view more information about the Preview, access this link: https://products.office.com/en-us/mac/mac-preview To access the release notes for the April 14th update that includes improved VoiceOver accessibility, access this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3048768 I can confirm that basic VoiceOver accessibility support is now present in Microsoft Word. Tables are recognized, though I did experience issues with entering and leaving them as well as reading their contents. Certainly it is not as simple as merely arrowing through a Word document, entering a table, and using TAB and SHIFT+TAB to move through cells as Windows users might be used to doing. The issue may well be simply that I’m not familiar with the app. I haven’t had time to check out the new Excel or PowerPoint yet, but Outlook has been pretty accessible for a while now. Ultimately, while there is surely room for improvement, this is huge news. I’m excited now that as VoiceOver users, we’ll be able to play with the preview apps and submit feedback to Microsoft throughout the beta cycle, and such feedback will now be more than “it doesn’t work”. :) Cheers!

Re: Office 16.9 accessbility improvements
Yes, it's accessible to install. Yes you'll get it with Office 3 65. By preview we just mean it's a public preview. It's not officially been released yet. It's just a public beta preview for now. This is why I said it's so so important that these bugs, we report to Microsoft, and when they do! do things that are right/good, we contact them and pat them on the back for a job well done. That! is what will very much encourage them to keep moving forward in the right direction. If we give up on them at this point, they'll do the same in return. Again, their accessibility line is: 1-800-936-5900.

I’m excited now that as VoiceOver users, we’ll be able to play with the preview apps and submit feedback to Microsoft throughout the beta cycle, and such feedback will now be more than “it doesn’t work”. :) Cheers!

Hi Christopher. You were right: I didn’t have the latest released software. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Office 16.9 accessbility improvements
Hi, If I download MS Word for Mac using my Office 365, will I get this accessibility everybody is talking about. I'm a bit confused with it being called a preview app. Is installing Word on the mac accessible?
